Sunderland Voluntary Sector Alliance (SVSA) working in partnership with Sunderland City Council are looking to explore and develop opportunities to use Social Value creatively. The aim is to invest in community groups, local charities, and social enterprises to benefit residents and Sunderland neighbourhoods.
Social Value is becoming a valuable asset to our local communities especially when public funds are limited. Social Value encourages smarter spending to not only deliver services but also address social, economic, and environmental issues in the local community.
By applying for these opportunities, local voluntary and community organisations can receive essential services and funding to support their goals, contribute to community welfare, and align with broader environmental and social goals.
